Q: Is it a possibility to rent a car one-way to Denali National Park?

A:Unfortunately, there are no rental car agencies in Denali National Park, so you can not drop a rental car off there.  However, there are a couple of alternate options available: You can take our convenient Anchorage Denali Express service from Anchorage to Denali, and then take Alaska Railroad’s Denali Star Train back the next day.

Or, if you are set on renting a car:  After visiting Denali, you will have to detour further north to Fairbanks, to drop your rental car off (Additional fees may apply.) You can then take a train back to Anchorage. You will have to leave Denali pretty early, or stay the night in Fairbanks to do this, as the Fairbanks train leaves for Anchorage at 8am, and arrives at 8pm.

Q: Is it possible to travel from Anchorage to Denali Backcountry Lodge in one day?

A:Absolutely! There are a few different ways to get to the Lodge from Anchorage. Probably the easiest way is to take advantage of our Anchorage Denali Express Motorcoach service.  It is a comfortable ride on a motorcoach, and arrives in time to connect with the afternoon bus to Denali Backcountry Lodge.

Another way is to rent a car in anchorage, and make the drive to Denali National Park yourself.  You can park your car at Denali Cabins, free of charge, and connect with the afternoon bus to the lodge.

Unfortunately, the train from Anchorage to Denali National Park, does not arrive in time to connect with the afternoon bus to the lodge. However, you can take the Anchorage to Denali train, and then take a chartered flight to the lodge.

Q: Can we take the morning bus to the Denali Backcountry Lodge?

A:Yes, however, if you are planning to stay overnight at the Denali Backcountry Lodge, you must take the afternoon bus.  It is still the same fully narrated, exciting, wildlife searching adventure, just set a little later in the day. You will arrive at the Denali Backcountry Lodge in the evening, on time for a Family-Style Dinner, and a peaceful night in your private cedar cabin.

The morning bus is reserved for the Denali Backcountry Adventure.  It is a full-day adventure and requires an early start, which is why the morning bus is completely reserved. It’s most complete trip to Kantishna, in Denali National park, in just one day.
